Note 186 — Chapter II · THEORY OF THE HORDE AND MOTHER-RIGHT
Reading edition
Ibid., 178-82. In the fourth and fifth Abschnitte (155-247) the author discusses the dissolution of the horde through the influence of the two forms of the family. The argument is involved and almost entirely a priori. It is nearly impossible to discover his conclusion as to whether a purely patriarchal or matriarchal family is differentiated in the process.
